DC fans have gotten their first glimpse of The People v Gorilla Grodd, a new Superman spin-off series, through behind-the-scenes images and videos shared online. The show, described as a mockumentary, follows Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen (played by Skyler Gisondo) as he revisits the case against Gorilla Grodd (voiced by Jimmy Tatro), who is on trial for allegedly murdering his father. Based on leaked set photos and footage, some fans believe Grodd may be innocent, suggesting that the story could take an unexpected turn. The leaked material portrays Grodd as a charismatic, intelligent, and socially engaged character. In videos shared on X (formerly Twitter), Grodd is shown as a member of an A Cappella group at Metropolis University, where he is seen trying to impress a classmate with his singing. One clip features him performing LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" with his group. Another image shows Grodd in a graduation outfit, though it's unclear whether this is from his college years or from his trial. These visuals paint a picture of a character who is far removed from the typical supervillain stereotype. Reactions among DC fans have been mixed but largely positive. Many have expressed enthusiasm on forums like Reddit and ResetEra, with some even supporting the use of a live actor to portray Grodd rather than a CGI version. However, not all fans are convinced. Some criticize the character's appearance and question why Grodd isn't being featured in a movie with his longtime rival, Barry Allen, also known as The Flash. Others feel the show might not do justice to the complexity of the character as he appears in comic books. The confirmation that filming has begun comes just weeks after the show’s title, cast, and plot were officially announced. This follows nearly a year of speculation about a Superman-related project at DC Studios. While no official release date has been set, the start of filming suggests the series could be released before the end of 2027, possibly as part of the broader DC Universe Chapter One initiative.
